How do I switch from being a SAHM to a WAHM?

For me, creating my own websites and blogs is the best way to earn online, once you have them created you have a residual income that just keeps growing. Not only have I discovered that I enjoy doing this (and sharing what I'm learning with others) there's really no limit as to what you can do and earn. If you're interested there is a link in my profile to a program that helps create your own income earning websites and blogs - or I created a free ebook that you can download that shows a little of what I do online.

hi..have you heard of global domains international where you can earn residual income... come, check this link: www.website.ws/tesmel or www.freedom.ws/tesmel. it's worth a try. good for stay at home mothers like us...

I think the best thing you can do is to try and use your own skills to make money. For example I'm a web designer so have done a bit of that since I've been at home with the kids, I also do some on a voluntary basis to help me get back into work when the kids are at school. Other people I know sell books through usbourne, make cards to sell at craft shows and do massage while their kids are at nursery. The other way I used to get money is by selling stuff on ebay, but I find that I don't get as good prices for things any more and I am also running out of good stuff to sell. I also do boot sales in the summer to get rid of kids clothes, toys etc that they have grown out of and have made a fair bit doing that as well.

I make most of my living working from home-- in part by having a largely eBay-based collectibles business, in part by working as a contract technical writer and business consultant. Getting "real" paid work (as opposed to "make money online" web sites) can be a bit tricky, and requires some leg work-- but the rewards can be pretty good. What you can get also depends on our skills and experience. I periodically work for ETS online, grading written exams for everything from California high school exit exams, to various college admissions tests. It requires a college degree and passing a couple of pre-employment tests. I have also worked designing skills tests for a large company that helps employers test incoming employees. Finding "gigs" can be a matter of work and luck. If you check the job listings on craigslist on a regular basis, you might get lucky and find online job listings (that's how I found the ETS job). Otherwise, there's a "contract labor" area on monster.com, or you might check into a site like elance.com, or other sites that serve as clearning houses for contract workers.

I like the SAHM and WAHM phrases. Do they mean Stay/Sleep At Home Mother and Work At Home Mother. I think its good that you are already trying out so many things. But I would like to remind you that anything that is joined, you are actually making the people who came out with it rich. Always try to come up with something of your own.

I have just resigned from my corporate job. It's kinda scary to learn that my regular income has stopped, but wighin things over I know there's a more important reason for me to have taken that decision - I want to spend quality time with my son and I don't want to have any regrets in the future, there's no way for me to turn back the time. My husband is earning just fine, though I know i still need to push some things and help out. I've tried a lot - the internet offers are mostly scam. Why don't you try trading in the ebay? I have some products which can be found only in my country that I tried selling on the net, maybe you can look for something to sell. I also see good potential in tutoring children. I hope I was able to contribute thoughts. :) Regards!

I have been making my own natural beauty products and selling them on ebay. Ocassionally I get a rather large order and last summer was making pamper hampers for a bed & breakfast. I agree, try using your own skills hun as get quick scams are just that!

I am in almost the same situation as you, but I don't have children at home during the day. I really would love to be able to call myself a WAHM, and I just recently found a wonderful site! The woman who writes it has tried everything she talks about, and gives her honest opinion on how good it is! It's just a great resource, and is updated almost daily! http://paidopps.blogspot.com/

Depending on your talents there are so many things that you could do from home. I have done childcare from my home, as well as making and selling crafts. A friend of mine makes good money by making and selling candies, especially around holiday times. Another friend makes and sells fancy cakes. My neighbors have an upholstery business at their home, and another woman I know does sewing and mending. There are those who teach piano, those who tutor students, and those who type up papers. You might find an opportunity as a medical transcriptionist, or other similar profession... and the list goes on. Good luck, and I wish you the best.
